The recent Webinar Wednesday presentation “How You Can Help Protect Against Ransomware, as an HTM Professional” was sponsored by Ordr. This webinar is eligible for 1 credit from the ACI.
Healthcare technology management (HTM) and clinical engineering professionals are on the front line of safe and effective care delivery by supporting and maintaining state-of-the art health care devices in hospitals. But with ransomware targeting healthcare delivery organizations, HTM and clinical engineering teams can play a critical role in managing the risks from these devices, and helping their IT and security teams improve the security posture for the organization.
In this webinar, Ordr Head of Product Marketing Chris Westphal and Seth Feder, former health care professional and Gartner Analyst, outlined the role HTM and clinical engineering teams can play to protect against ransomware, including:
• Keeping an accurate medical device inventory.
• Monitoring for unknown devices on the network.
• Identifying medical devices with outdated operating system.
• Effectively prioritizing and managing device vulnerabilities.
The presenters also shared additional insights during an informative question-and-answer session.
